any recs on shops that can mount tires without scratching

I'm gonna need to mount 2 sets of tires in the next few weeks. Anybody have any recommendations on area shops that can mount/balance tires cleanly? If they also know what a dot-r tire is that would be even better, but apparently mounting a 275 hoosier on an 8" rim is supposed to be easy.

thanks,
Bala

Will's Discount Tire in Irving. They mount ALL wheels & tires for Team 16 NiSS. Will uses special plastic tools just so the wheels don't get scratched.

Thanks for the discount tire rec. They're just down the road from me. Now just need to find a set of SF Challenges in gun metal.

Discount Tire is a huge retail chain. Will's is a family operated and owned shop that takes REAL care of their customers. His business depends on how he satisfies them. At Discount you're just another # to them.

Ditto on Kauffman tires.....talk to Tyler....other guys are careful but he'll make sure nothing is scratched and ensure everything is torqued to spec also.
